Decorative Grasses

Have used this quite a bit in the yard this year. It looks beautiful in the breeze.

Busy Bees

Chives?

I think this is a chive plant. Dad gave them to me quite a few years ago. I've noticed that they flower twice a season - once at the beginning and once at the end.

More Back Stoop

I love how the impatiens in the blue pot have filled out. Obviously, they're quite tall at this point in the season. They won't be around much longer as I've found that impatiens tend to be pretty cold sensitive. They sure look good now, though! The two pots on the right are planted with rosemary. That would be my reflection in the door.

Another Pumpkin

Here's the other pumpkin I spoke of in yesterday's post. It's from our neighbor Julie's pumpkin patch which grows right up to the alley. The little orange spot is where I think a squirrel started to nibble.

Mums

I know fall is really getting closer when I see mums. I picked these up today at Kowalski's. I like how this pot has three different colors.
